The amount of video memory installed primarily influences the number of colors that a program can display (with the appropriate video drivers and monitor capabilities). video resolution - Video resolution (800 x 600, for example) is expressed as the number of pixels across by the number of pixels up and down. To display a program at a specific graphics resolution, you must install the appropriate video drivers and your monitor must support the resolution. W - Watt(s). WH - Watt-hour(s). 100 Glossary
